Day: April 20, 2014

Once again we seem to be on the weather rollercoaster of all time here in the DC area (ok, so much of the country is there with us). One day 80 degrees, the next day snow and sleet. No really, that was us last week. The Cherry Blossoms popped out over night and record crowds packed the Tidal Basin to take in the pink beauty and monuments.

For about 2 to 3 days.

And then the snow and sleet and winds and freezing cold set in once more. I don’t have to tell you what happened to most of the blossoms do I? Yep, history. So now the temps have climbed back to the 50’s and all the plants I moved outside are back indoors until who knows when.

Like me.

Maybe by the end of June I will be able to go outside and plant in the gardens. I have so many plants that didn’t make it through this winter. Le sigh. Maybe I will use this as an excuse to plan some new gardens. I will have plenty of bare patches to fill that’s for sure.

Now on to the business at hand. I have several winner announcements listed below, for Abigail Roux’s Ball & Chain book tour . S.J. Frost’s Vampire Prince tour, and Blaine D. Arden’s The Forester II Guest Blog/Contest:
